What's great about it:?Washes clothes really clean, easy on clothes, very quiet, uses v. little water, spins clothes almost dry, What's not so great:?Doesn't handle single bulky and heavy items as well as top-loaders do (e.g. big rugs) "First let me say that all brands and models have various reliability issues specific to their design. from Bestbuy.com i inherited this washer when i bought out house, i believe it was purchased in 2001. now, it is broken in the same way as the other posts (it makes a loud clanking noise when washing and there is something wrong when it spins, since it wont spin quickly, water does not get spun out of the clothes.) i am grateful for the other reviews, they helped me decide to just go ahead and buy a new washer than wasting money on this one... from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Value priced, Solid performer What's not so great:?3.1 capacity is small compared to some of the newer models at 4.7 "I have owned the washer since 1999 and had no problems except cleaning change out of the trap a few times. A few weeks ago it started leaving clothes a little damp so I am going to buy another one. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Price, quiet, easy to use What's not so great:?Wish I had gone with a larger capacity "I have read the reviews on this washer and was surprised to see how negative they were. I have had my washer for over two years and so far no problems. from Bestbuy.com Pros: Low price for front load. Water and energy savings. from Shopping.com I think putting rugs, etc in it has caused this to happen. Anything that has a loop etc, can get caught & brake the glides. AND the washer, the pieces have broke twice, that hold the drum on. They were also plastis. from Bestbuy.com The dial is the best thing. My last washer broke after a year and a half and because it was digital it was actually more cost effective to buy a new one. I was told dial is the way to go. from Abt.com When we bought our condo this wash was part of the package, everything was ok for about 18 months and then a distinct odor started, a foul smell of mold. I thought we left a load in for too long and rewashed -nope the smell has been getting worse and worse. I started fishing around and discovered the rubber gasket or seal on the door and the metal "Sleeve" the gasket fits in - hold water! from Amazon.com I bought this washer about 3 years ago. At that time I told the salesman that I wanted a washer that would do a good job and that would last. from Amazon.com Noise and vibration are an issue, but tolerable. Clothes do get clean... I can't say I noticed much of a difference between the Frigidaire and Whirlpool Duet I used while on vacation recently...at least when it came to cleaning power. from Amazon.com
